Check and top up fluid levels Citroen Berlingo II 1.6 HDi

Model: Citroen Berlingo MK 2 - Years 2008-2018
Part: Checks and maintenance

Let's see in this video how to check and top up the fluid levels on a Berlingo II 1.6 HDi: we open the hood and remove the oil dipstick, wiping it clean. We put it back in place and check it again. The level should be just below "max." If it is lower, we add oil according to the manufacturer's specifications from the filler cap. We check the level again to ensure it is correct: it should never exceed the maximum. We also check the coolant level: the reservoir is marked, and here too the correct level is just below "max." If it is lower, we add coolant of the same color as that in the reservoir. The brake fluid reservoir also has level indicators. Theoretically, brake fluid does not get consumed. If it decreases, it means that the brake pads are wearing down. Therefore, we add some fluid but also consider checking the brakes. We also add windshield washer fluid: we should never add tap water because the minerals in it could damage the systems and the windshield.

How to Check the Oil Level on a Jeep Renegade?

To check the oil level on a Jeep Renegade, you need to open the bonnet to access the components inside the engine bay: on the lower left side of the engine block, you will find the dipstick for checking the level. This should be pulled out and thoroughly cleaned with a cloth: once cleaned, reinsert it back into its tube and pull it out immediately after. This way, you can check that the oil mark is between the minimum and maximum levels; finally, you can place the dipstick back in its tube.
